High, Low and in Between

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I come from a long line High and low and in between, same as you Hills of golden, piles of poison Time's thrown me through And I believe I've come to learn That turning round is to become confusion And the gold's no good for spending And the poison's hungry waiting [Verse 2] What can you leave behind When you're flying lightning fast and all alone? Only a trace, my friend Spirit of motion born and direction grown A trace that will not fade in frozen skies Your journey will be And if a shadow don't seem much company Well, who said it would be? [Verse 3] There is the highway And the homemade loving kind, and the highway's mine And us ramblers'll get the travelling done You fathers build with stones that stand and shine Heaven's where you find it And you can't take too much with you Ah but, Daddy, don't you listen It's just this highway talking [Verse 4] All things that are alive Are brothers in the soil and in the sky And I believe it with my blood If not my eyes I don't know why we can't be brothers here I know we should be Answers don't seem easy And I'm wondering if they could be
